Chapter 498: Resonance of Connection

In the afternoon, Tilan once again came to the garage where Soga was.

The sun fell on the open space outside the garage. The open doors and windows let in the hot light from outside. There was a slight smell of engine oil in the air. Compared with the coldness of the night, the warehouse at this time seemed a bit quiet and lazy.

After repairing the hoverbike, Soga put the electric wrench on the table, then picked up the kettle beside him and poured in a big gulp of water. Then he turned on the fan beside him. The breeze blew across his sweaty face and back, bringing a cool and refreshing feeling.

If it weren't for the internal problems of the "connector" this time, she probably lived a life that was not rich but comfortable every day, occasionally going out to race with friends, making extra money or losing money by playing games, cursing those rich people who were not human when drinking, and then continuing this life.

After "gulping" down half a kettle of water, Soga put the kettle back on the table and prepared to lean back in the chair to rest for a while.

"Are you busy repairing?"

A familiar voice came from not far away. Soga opened his eyes and saw a girl holding an umbrella standing in front of the garage, walking into the room from the bright halo.

"It's Zi Jin." She recognized the girl with black hair and purple eyes.

"Sit down first, I'll take a rest." She casually greeted.

The girl put away her umbrella and looked around. Although Soga asked her to sit, she didn't see a suitable seat. There were only two small benches, and there were traces of various spray paints and oil stains on them.

Putting the umbrella in a corner of the garage, Tilan looked at the small door leading to the room from the garage.

"Where are the others?"

Soga leaned back in the chair with his eyes half open and half closed, and answered casually.

"Gern is surfing the Internet in the house, it seems to be contacting old friends. The eldest lady is communicating with other "connectors" and trying to persuade them."

"Can I go over and take a look? I just don't know if Alana recognizes me." Tilan was curious about how the other party communicated. It shouldn't be a phone call.

"It's okay. Just go through this door and go to the room on the second floor. Just knock on the door. We told the young lady about your matter this morning."

"Okay."

Tilan opened a small door and walked into the house.

The passage on the first floor was a little cool, with rooms on both sides. It didn't look like a place for families to live here, but more like a temporary resting point for employees, with a distinct industrial modular style.

Walking up the stairs, Tilan walked towards the innermost room. When she stood outside the door, she could feel the special fluctuations inside even before knocking on the door.

Not in a hurry to knock on the door, Tilan closed her eyes and felt it carefully for a while, thinking a little.

This feeling, the space has a slight dimensional amplitude, which is obviously a phenomenon of immersion in the Sea of ​​Ekaka. In addition, there is a weak magic change, not as pure as an independent individual, but a variety of thoughts and frequencies of magic intertwined, as if many people are inside, but from the amplitude of the fluctuation, each one is very weak, even weaker than an insect, and ordinary people can't detect anything wrong.

Two minutes later, Tilan opened her eyes, then placed her fingers on the door and knocked a few times.

"Hello, I'm Zi Jin, I want to see Miss Alana."

Soon, the door opened, revealing a somewhat tired girl, she was wearing a short T-shirt with a silver background and a short skirt of the same style, as if she had just come off the stage.

After Tilan walked into the room, she sat on the bed, leaning against the head of the bed as if she was tired.

"Hello, I'm Alana." When she said this, she didn't have the energy she showed in the performance and the show, as if she was a dried sea urchin.

"Hello." Tilan replied, and her eyes briefly looked inside the room.

The decoration here is very simple, with a table, chairs and a bed, and there are still posters on the wall that have not been torn clean. Only the sheets and quilts are new, which should have been bought not long ago.

"Thank you for helping Soga yesterday. I don't think I caused you any trouble." Rubbing her temples, Alana once again perked up and talked to Tilan.

"No, actually I'm curious too, because yesterday when Soga held my hand, I felt something strange that I've never felt before."

"This is the charm of the 'Connector'. If it were normal times, I could talk to you happily for a long time, but now there are many problems to be solved." Alana recovered a little.

"You have a lot of questions to ask, as long as they are not too private, I can answer them." Anyway, there are so many traitors in the organization, and there is no point in keeping it secret.

"How is this ability realized specifically, and what is the effect? ​​I'm very curious."

"This, indeed many newcomers will ask." Alana was not surprised. She supported her forehead and shook it slightly to refresh herself.

"Let's start with the singer..." Just like she explained to Shan that day, she explained it again.

"As a singer, her voice is too strong, which suppresses other voices. This is one reason. In addition, the singer's strong appeal also constitutes a kind of violence. It is hard to say whether she is leading the wishes of everyone or her own personal wishes."

"So, Alana's 'Z' group was born, representing the final group that will end all singers and giant companies and resist all powers." Tilan repeated the declaration she heard from Soga and Shan.

In the past, Alana would confidently admit this great ideal, but now she just feels that she may not be so strong and strong.

"Uh, that's what I said." She pressed her forehead lightly, trying to avoid the sight of the girl opposite.

"It's okay, it's a great idea." Tilan did not show a mocking or sarcastic expression, but instead quietly and frankly stated this idea that was a bit naive, but still had a noble purpose.

"Do you really think so?" Alana put down her hand slightly and asked.

"Hmm."

"I don't know what kind of social structure civilization will form after losing the singer. Maybe it will split into several different countries, or break taboos and continue to evolve in various directions, etc." Tilan raised her tone slightly, and then talked about her views and feelings over the years.

"But you are right about one thing. The current federation is very divided. The upper and lower groups have long lost mutual understanding. Various violent remarks emerge one after another, as if everyone is a victim. Everyone has become selfish. People are united and only follow their emotions. They rarely think about the real reasons behind each problem and what choices they should make in their lives."

"If the development of science and technology and culture, and the continuous advancement of extraordinary abilities, are to improve people's lives and make civilization more advanced and harmonious, then at least in the latter, the current social structure is still in a crude state."

...

These words surprised Alana. It can be said that they hit the various problems existing in the federation very directly. In comparison, what she thought about in the past has become a little superficial.

"What do you mean...?" She couldn't see through the girl in front of her. Why did she feel that she was more extreme than herself?

"To put it simply, the Federation, as a country and social community in the Galaxy Age, is still using the cumbersome and outdated social system from thousands of years ago. This framework cannot satisfy the desires of all classes and groups for life. People at the bottom feel abandoned and ignored. The prosperity of the extraordinary people has nothing to do with them, but they have to watch others live a brilliant life, which creates a huge psychological gap."

"For High-Sequence People with extraordinary powers, even though their strength is far beyond that of ordinary people and they can easily destroy a city, they are still subject to the various laws of the Federation and are governed by some 'ordinary people'. They may even use their power to plot against them. This makes them feel insecure. In order to eliminate this insecurity, they must seek to gain social power, which will impact the original structure of society and make the law no longer sacred."

"If the law is only to protect those high-level extraordinary people, the rich, and the powerful groups, these people can easily trample on them at will, while the lower-level people who break the law have to suffer various punishments, then they will involuntarily doubt this system and dislike its role, and finally shake the foundation of the federal rule, and also allow other organizations to breed

in society, such as certain gangs, clans, brotherhoods, etc." "In essence, because the security needs of the lower class cannot be protected by the law, they will seek some other forces to protect their own interests, which provides soil for the survival of many illegal organizations."

The accumulation of four years of high school and the broadening of the overall situation of the federation after entering college have made Tilan see the problem more and more clearly, and gradually understand what she really wants to do.

She will not be easily swayed by various remarks, nor will she immerse herself in extreme emotions and self-touching, but just look at the world quietly and equally.

Generally speaking, only major changes will change a person drastically, but some people's changes are subtle and silent.

You must jump into the pit to know the pain, that is what a fool would do. Tilan thinks that people who love to think should see the pit under their feet in advance and remind themselves not to fall into it.

Although Alana and her 'Z' group were immature, Tilan was interested in their starting point and the special abilities of the 'connectors', which was why she joined them to find out.

After Tilan finished her opinion, Alana felt as if she was convinced and quickly accepted the theory of the girl in front of her. However, if that was the case, wouldn't it mean that the 'Z' group she founded was just a child's play, and she didn't even grasp the core of the problem.

Out of a certain self-esteem and not wanting to admit defeat in front of her peers, Alana turned her head and bit her lip.

This... It seems that I said too much. Seeing the other party's reaction, Tilan also realized where the problem was.

After all, she was just a 'newcomer'. Such remarks made Alana, as the core, feel a little embarrassed. If she really recognized and praised herself, wouldn't it be admitting that she was not suitable to be the leader? This was very discouraging.

"Alana is amazing. Although I have thought about many problems, I haven't put them into practice. In this regard, Alana is amazing." Tilan organized her words and tried to praise her.

After some consolation, Alana felt much better and her mentality gradually calmed down.

"What year is Zijin in college?" Alana asked curiously after her emotions stabilized.

"Currently the first year." Tilan answered honestly. She

was hit again in her heart, but Alana nodded as if she didn't care, "Zijin is still very young, and I am already halfway graduated."

At present, the university training in the Federation is half on campus and half off campus. After the first part is finished, it can be said that half of the graduates are at the end. Senior singers such as Elukelu and Luo Fenghua are at this stage.

Although she felt that what the girl who was several years younger than her said seemed to make sense, Alanna would never admit that she was not as good as others. She cheered herself up and showed a certain "senior" style.

"Little Zijin has a long-term view of things, unlike those peers who only know how to play and study." It seemed that adding the word "little" could gain a psychological advantage, just like an older sister evaluating her younger siblings.

After that, Alanna looked at the sky outside, which had darkened at some point, and then stood up.

"It's getting late. Let's go eat first, and then introduce Zijin to the current situation."

After that, Alanna picked up the short jacket at the head of the bed and put it on, and then put on a hat and sunglasses, and then took Tilan downstairs to find others.

"Good evening, Miss." Soga had already repaired the motorcycle and changed into clean clothes.

"Where is Gunn?" Alanna looked around and spoke.

"He said he was going to buy some food."

"Then let him buy more. I have enough money in my card anyway, and it's also a good way to celebrate the joining of a new member."

"Okay." Soga saw that Alana was in much better spirits than yesterday and in a good mood.

"Then you go ahead and I'll take Zijin for a walk in the yard."

"OK~" Soga said it was okay.

Then Alana asked Tilan to follow her and walked into the open space in the abandoned warehouse.

It was already past 7 o'clock in the evening. It had not been long since dark. The tall buildings in the distance had lit up various lights, and there were few stars in the sky.

The two walked for a while before Alana spoke.

"To be honest, I was a little surprised and didn't believe it when I heard that there were new members joining yesterday, because this period is very special."

"I used to believe in friends, believe in the memories we built together, and believe that trust between each other can build beautiful circles. We work together to help each other and compose the music of the new era."

"It's a pity that I was betrayed."

"No matter how I convince myself in my heart, everyone has their own troubles and reasons, but I still feel very uncomfortable. I don't want to trust others anymore and don't want to suffer this kind of thing again."

"You are different from other members. I rarely see such calm and clear thinking in people of the same age. Most people just live by their feelings."

"Even if there is a part of resistance in the manifesto of the 'Z' group I founded, most people don't care, or just talk about it verbally."

"You are one of the few people who raised questions, thought deeply, and didn't completely deny me."

"This has a great impact on me and made me realize some of my shortcomings in the past."

"It seems that I am still not qualified." She sighed.

"There is no such thing as being qualified." Tilan shook her head.

"Like you said, everyone has something they are good at, and we form a circle and make up for each other's shortcomings."

"It's the same in modern society. The division of labor allows everyone to live by doing what they are good at, instead of being like primitive people who have to do everything themselves."

"Well, but I found that I seem to be more suitable to be a simple singer, rather than really touching upon the cruel and real changes." Alana stopped.

"As for me, I used to live a very carefree life. Although I don't have the talent to be a singer, I am very happy because singing has brought me a lot of love and I don't have to worry about money."

"After accidentally discovering the ability of the 'Connector' with a few companions, we slowly experimented with the initial usage together, and then happily promoted it carefully and gradually recruited members."

"Because I am a star in the spotlight, I easily got the position of leader and organized many activities."

"Gradually, I became immersed in this kind of role-playing."

"Yes, role-playing. I'm not the kind of warrior who really dares to promote world change, the kind of person who burns the world with blood and fire. I just like the unique identity and the pleasure of establishing an organization and being surrounded by people."

"In the past, I didn't distinguish the difference, but after listening to you talk a lot this afternoon, I slowly realized that if I follow the program I proposed, I will inevitably encounter these things, but this is not what I want."

"Huh, maybe I should thank that mysterious organization. They took over my mess. If the people from the Inquisition come to my door one day, I can also say that I have been abandoned long ago."

"Are you going to give up, Alana?" Tilan looked up at the girl walking in front of her.

"I've given up a little bit." She wasn't as confident and radiant as she usually was on the stage.

"Why don't you give it a try, Zi Jin, and try to take my position, if you have that idea."

"I'm just a new member, or rather, an outsider." The girl shook her head. She didn't know the members scattered all over the place at all.

"No one is born to do something. Big people also grow up step by step. Alana, since you were able to inspire everyone and bring them together in the past, I believe you can overcome difficulties and bring everyone back together again."

"Let's not talk about those far-fetched ideas of changing the world. Just let everyone get back together, not be used by other organizations, fulfill the promise, and don't let everyone go astray because of joining the 'Z' group."

"I believe Alana can do this."

"That's a good point, but unfortunately I still lack confidence." Alana turned around, with some light flashing in her eyes, like tears or some kind of rekindled belief.

"If Zi Jin can be my right-hand man and help me, maybe I can muster up the courage." She smiled.

Compared with the useless trio, the black-haired and purple-eyed girl in front of her is much more reliable.

"Oh, me?" Tilan didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to herself.

"Don't you find that we are very similar? We both have black hair, can sing, and have purple eyes." Alana looked at the girl opposite.

"I don't think I said I can sing." Tilan was surprised.

"Yes, it's like an adult who walks a lot can tell whether a crawling child can walk at a glance. Whether it's the way you speak or the clarity and recognition of your voice, it shows that you have a good foundation in this area."

"I'm a big singer, so I have some vision." Alanna was confident and sure.

"It's not easy to achieve the goal of reconciliation, so can you help me temporarily, Zijin?" She stretched out her palm.

If it was just this matter, Tilan felt that it was not a big problem. She also put her hand on it. When the two shook hands, a strange feeling was instantly connected. It seemed that the two of them had a temporary resonance of consciousness and shared all kinds of feelings at the same time.

So from Alanna's perspective, this is what she looks like.

Looking at herself under the night sky, Tilan felt that she seemed to be a little "young", and both her appearance and figure had not changed much from a few years ago.

What is this? Alanna was also very surprised. Even though she had used similar connection abilities with many people, she had never seen it as clearly as today, as if she was looking at the world with a magnifying glass.

The flow of wind, the night view in the distance, the flow of tiny Aigeka particles in the air, the flow of magic power in the body, countless tiny thoughts, etc., it was like entering a higher level of life, and the whole world became more "real".

This can only mean one thing, that is, the girl in front of him has strength that he can't imagine, far from being as simple as Sequence 5, even as Sequence 6, he can't reach this level.

This kind of consciousness resonance ended after just a few seconds, and then the two returned to normal.

"So this is how the ability of the connector is realized." Tilan blinked and began to understand the way to realize this ability.

It is probably that the consciousness enters the Aigeka Sea and interacts briefly, just like two computers communicating remotely, and can take over each other.

It must be said that this is a very dangerous ability, because long-term use has the tendency of "self" to be assimilated, and finally merged into a huge collective consciousness, and each body is just a part.

It seems that their way of using it is still very simple and crude. At least they should be able to isolate themselves and not be influenced and assimilated by others at will. Just once, Tilan, as an excellent student, saw a lot of problems.

It seems that there are many things to do in the future. Although the "connector" does not seem to be the solution she wants, it is also of great reference value.
